Chattogram Zoo
Went to see Chottogram Zoo with my grand daughter in a late afternoon. Weather was extremely hot and humid.
I was more impressed with the scenic walk way around the zoo.
The animals looked tired with the heat and humidity and who likes to live in prison. Only little space to live their life!
Chittagong Zoo is a zoo in Chittagong, Bangladesh. With an area of 10.2 acres of land it is located about three kilometers north-west of the city, alongside at the entrance of Foy's Lake, opposite the foothills of the mountains of USTC Medical College.
In 1988 initiative was taken to establish a private zoo at Foy's Lake for the purpose of recreation, education and research on zoo animals. It is situated at hilly land of Foy's lake, South-Khulshi, Chittagong. Later, on February 28, 1989 the zoo was opened for the visitors. Initially 4.90 acres of land was allocated by the Bangladesh Government, which afterwards increased to 10.2 acres.
Some flatterers put several plaques of a government servant who seemed to be an administrator during the construction.
Public toilets needed an entry fee!

Laldighi Park
Spend some time in an afternoon to walk around the pond.
It gave me a peace of mind to reminisce the historical site.
Lal Dighi is one of the traditional places in Chittagong city of Bangladesh. Its location is at the end of Jail Road in the city. Lal Dighi is spread over an area of 2.70 acres. On one side of it is Andarkilla. Around it are district council buildings and local bank branches. It belongs to Ward No. 32 of Chittagong City Corporation.
History
Edit
In 1761, the British East India Company gained control of Chittagong. At that time Entekali Kachari i.e. Land Tehsil Office (now Metropolitan Police Office) was painted red. It was known as “Lalkuthi” by the people. To the east of this red gate was the jail. It was also painted red and hence came to be known as “Lalghar”. These two buildings were guarded by British hillmen wearing red turbans. Many people think that this is why the buildings are named Lal Ghar and Lal Kuthi. There was a small pond next to the red house and the red hut. At the beginning of English rule in Chittagong, the pond was enlarged and turned into a lake. This Dighi is known as Lal Dighi because there were two red buildings next to it.
